Baltasar Kormákur

From the director of Everest, Baltasar Kormákur, comes The Oath, a dark, shadowy and riveting Icelandic thriller in which a respected doctor, played by Kormákur himself, sets off on a mission to pull his daughter away from the world of drugs and petty crime, only to discover that danger can be found in unexpected places. With sweeping Icelandic vistas providing the backdrop to unnerving tension, this is an assured suspense drama bound to have you on the edge of your seat.

For Kristófer (Baltasar Kormákur) life has been little more than a never ending series of failures and disappointments. Among other things, he made the colossal mistake of smuggling alcohol during his tenure as a ship worker - a little stunt that promptly landed him behind bars. Now, following release, he struggles to pull his life together while working as a security guard and continually attempts to support his family. Then the opportunity arises for Kristófer to do one final tour on a freighter running from Reykjavík, Iceland, to Rotterdam, Holland. Kristófer initially embraces the opportunity to work with his old friends once again - little foreseeing the maelstrom of crime into which this move will plunge him.
